This year's Red Kettle Kickoff will feature a halftime performance by Grammy Award-winning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year country music star Lainey Wilson and a special guest, marking the start of a season dedicated to helping those in need through various Salvation Army programs. Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/the-salvation-army/9294953-en-salvation-army-red-kettle-campaign-launches-dallas-cowboys-lainey-wilson Wilson will perform hits from her new album, "Whirlwind," to highlight both the need for giving this holiday season and the impact of The Salvation Army's work in communities across the country. Since teaming up in 1997, The Salvation Army and the Cowboys have helped raise more than $3 billion for the campaign. "It's an honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff tradition with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys. The holiday season is about giving back and coming together, so we can make a real difference in people's lives this Christmas," said Wilson. "Bring your bell-bottoms and some bells for ringing because we're about to get this show on the road!" For nearly three decades, the Dallas Cowboys and The Salvation Army have joined forces on Thanksgiving Day to amplify the mission of the Red Kettle Campaign, which funds vital services for individuals and families facing hardship. Last year alone, funds raised through the campaign supported over 27 million people with resources such as food, shelter, holiday gifts, and emergency financial assistance throughout the year. "The Red Kettle Campaign is a wonderful reminder that small acts of generosity can make a big difference," said Charlotte Jones , chief brand officer and co-owner of the Dallas Cowboys and former national advisory board chairperson for The Salvation Army. "Every dollar donated helps The Salvation Army bring hope and support to those in need, and we couldn't be more appreciative to Lainey Wilson for helping us kick off this important effort. She perfectly captures the heart of this campaign, inspiring fans to make a difference for those who need it most." As the nation's largest private provider of social services, The Salvation Army faces a unique challenge this year. "With five fewer kettle giving days this year, donations are needed more than ever to meet the increasing demand for essential resources, especially as families continue to face economic challenges," said Commissioner Kenneth Hodder , national commander of The Salvation Army. " Lainey Wilson's heart for giving back resonates deeply with the spirit of the Red Kettle Campaign. We hope her performance inspires people to come together to support those facing hardship this season." The official launch of the Red Kettle Campaign means that thousands of volunteers will be ringing bells at kettles across the country located outside storefronts at Walmart, Sam's Club, Kroger Family of Stores, Hobby Lobby, Mardel, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, JCPenney, Food Lion, Redner's Markets, Boscov's, Dillard's, Big Lots, Macerich Shopping Centers, and hundreds of local partners.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith moved to abandon two criminal cases against Donald Trump on Monday, acknowledging that Trump’s return to the White House will preclude attempts to federally prosecute him for retaining classified documents or trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat. The decision was inevitable, since longstanding Justice Department policy says sitting presidents cannot face criminal prosecution. Yet it was still a momentous finale to an unprecedented chapter in political and law enforcement history, as federal officials attempted to hold accountable a former president while he was simultaneously running for another term. Trump emerges indisputably victorious, having successfully delayed the investigations through legal maneuvers and then winning re-election despite indictments that described his actions as a threat to the country's constitutional foundations. “I persevered, against all odds, and WON," Trump exulted in a post on Truth Social, his social media website. He also said that “these cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought.” The judge in the election case granted prosecutors' dismissal request. A decision in the documents case was still pending on Monday afternoon. The outcome makes it clear that, when it comes to a president and criminal accusations, nothing supersedes the voters' own verdict. In court filings, Smith's team emphasized that the move to end their prosecutions was not a reflection of the merit of the cases but a recognition of the legal shield that surrounds any commander in chief. “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind,” prosecutors said in one of their filings. They wrote that Trump’s return to the White House “sets at odds two fundamental and compelling national interests: on the one hand, the Constitution’s requirement that the President must not be unduly encumbered in fulfilling his weighty responsibilities . . . and on the other hand, the Nation’s commitment to the rule of law.” In this situation, “the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” they concluded. Smith’s team said it was leaving intact charges against two co-defendants in the classified documents case — Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira — because “no principle of temporary immunity applies to them.” Steven Cheung, Trump's incoming White House communications director, said Americans “want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country.” Trump has long described the investigations as politically motivated, and he has vowed to fire Smith as soon as he takes office in January. Now he will start his second term free from criminal scrutiny by the government that he will lead. The election case brought last year was once seen as one of the most serious legal threats facing Trump as he tried to reclaim the White House. He was indicted for plotting to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in 2020, an effort that climaxed with his supporters' violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But the case quickly stalled amid legal fighting over Trump’s sweeping claims of immunity from prosecution for acts he took while in the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court in July ruled for the first time that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution, and sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to determine which allegations in the indictment, if any, could proceed to trial. Story continues below video The case was just beginning to pick up steam again in the trial court in the weeks leading up to this year’s election. Smith’s team in October filed a lengthy brief laying out new evidence they planned to use against him at trial, accusing him of “resorting to crimes” in an increasingly desperate effort to overturn the will of voters after he lost to Biden. In dismissing the case, Chutkan acknowledged prosecutors' request to do so “without prejudice,” raising the possibility that they could try to bring charges against Trump when his term is over. She wrote that is “consistent with the Government’s understanding that the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office.” But such a move may be barred by the statute of limitations, and Trump may also try to pardon himself while in office. immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office. The separate case involving classified documents had been widely seen as legally clear cut, especially because the conduct in question occurred after Trump left the White House and lost the powers of the presidency. The indictment included dozens of felony counts accusing him of illegally hoarding classified records from his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and obstructing federal efforts to get them back. He has pleaded not guilty and denied wrongdoing. The case quickly became snarled by delays, with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon slow to issue rulings — which favored Trump’s strategy of pushing off deadlines in all his criminal cases — while also entertaining defense motions and arguments that experts said other judges would have dispensed with without hearings. In May, she indefinitely canceled the trial date amid a series of unresolved legal issues before dismissing the case outright two months later. Smith’s team appealed the decision, but now has given up that effort. Trump faced two other state prosecutions while running for president. One them, a New York case involving hush money payments, resulted in a conviction on felony charges of falsifying business records. It was the first time a former president had been found guilty of a crime. The sentencing in that case is on hold as Trump's lawyers try to have the conviction dismissed before he takes office, arguing that letting the verdict stand will interfere with his presidential transition and duties. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office is fighting the dismissal but has indicated that it would be open to delaying sentencing until Trump leaves office. Bragg, a Democrat, has said the solution needs to balance the obligations of the presidency with “the sanctity of the jury verdict." Trump was also indicted in Georgia along with 18 others accused of participating in a sprawling scheme to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election there. Any trial appears unlikely there while Trump holds office. The prosecution already was on hold after an appeals court agreed to review whether to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she had hired to lead the case. Four defendants have pleaded guilty after reaching deals with prosecutors. Trump and the others have pleaded not guilty. Associated Press writers Colleen Long, Michael Sisak and Lindsay Whitehurst contributed to this story.

Spark of Love Toy Drive 2024 - Donate todayPauline Hanson runs past Lidia Thorpe in the Senate chamber (Image: AAP/Mick Tsikas) THORPE SUSPENDED Lidia Thorpe’s suspension from Parliament got significant coverage overnight, with AAP reporting the independent senator received the punishment after she threw pieces of paper at One Nation’s Pauline Hanson as a row over racism erupted. On Wednesday Hanson had attempted to refer Senator Fatima Payman to a parliamentary committee over her dual Afghan citizenship, questioning her eligibility to sit in the upper house. Payman said in response to Hanson’s actions yesterday morning: “You’re not just vindictive, mean, nasty, you bring disgrace to the human race. No dignity whatsoever as a senator,” the ABC reports. Thorpe, in supporting Payman, shouted “convicted racist” at Hanson and threw torn-up documents at her, AAP said. Labor Senate leader Penny Wong later moved a motion to suspend Thorpe due to “the gravity of the conduct”. The government, Coalition, Hanson, David Pocock and Ralph Babet voted in favour of the motion while the Greens voted against it. Coalition Senate leader Simon Birmingham called the motion a “line in the sand” and accused the Greens of a “shameful double standard”. While that was going on, WA Premier Roger Cook was saying in a press conference he was confident the government’s “nature positive” legislation would not be progressed in its current form. Turns out he wasn’t wrong, with Guardian Australia among others flagging how Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stepped in to kill it at the 11th hour even though negotiations between Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek and Greens’ environment spokesperson Sarah Hanson-Young “were progressing this week towards a compromise”. Elsewhere, the site flags Jacqui Lambie and Tammy Tyrrell are involved in an administrative spat over the typography and map of Tasmania they both use in their respective logos. Finally, the AAP highlights that up to half of the country’s adult population is “lining up for a share of $100 million in the sixth largest lottery jackpot in the nation”. The draw closes at 7.30pm AEST. FINAL MAD SCRAMBLE Another calm and sensible day awaits us in Canberra with the government attempting to ram almost 40 bills through the Senate in the last scheduled sitting day of the year. Guardian Australian reports the Albanese government hopes to pass key legislation on migration, electoral reform, privacy, the social media ban for under 16s, and to implement a new Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) structure. The site reckons at least 37 bills will be attempted to be pushed through the Senate on Thursday. Yesterday’s scenes in the chamber, which saw independent senator Lidia Thorpe suspended for the remainder of the parliamentary sitting week, could have an impact on the government’s plans. Guardian Australia flags Thorpe’s suspension leaves the government “short of the numbers required for the guillotine motion which would truncate the usual debate time and bring on rapid-fire votes”. Apparently independent Senator David Pocock has offered his support “but at a high price”, the site says and reports crossbenchers are considering voting as a bloc to oppose all of the government’s legislative wishlist in protest at the frantic end to the sitting week. The ABC had led overnight on the suggestion the government’s election finance reforms are potentially in trouble after a breakdown in negotiations with the Coalition at the last minute. The broadcaster said sources claim the opposition has concerns over the proposal to limit election donations and spending. The apparent concerns are regarded by some as a tactic to drag talks beyond the end of the week and therefore potentially the end of the parliamentary term, if Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calls the election for early next year. If unable to come to an agreement with the opposition, the government will try to pass parts of the legislation with the help of the crossbench, the ABC adds. With that said, the Nine papers reckon that the reforms actually look set to pass the Senate “after Opposition Leader Peter Dutton held informal talks with Labor powerbroker Don Farrell to negotiate the deal”. The papers add Climate 200 founder Simon Holmes à Court has held last-minute talks with Farrell to warn against the plans, while mining billionaire Clive Palmer raced to Canberra to try and intervene. In another example of mixed messaging, the ABC reckons the government is still negotiating over its earnings tax on super funds with balances over $3 million. At the same time, Guardian Australia has led overnight with the reform being “all but abandoned” while (as flagged in Tuesday’s Worm ) the AFR said at the weekend it looks unlikely to pass before the next election, even if this Parliament does return on February. So who knows, everything is changing all the time. For example, the AFR flags the plans to reform the Reserve Bank of Australia’s board were declared “effectively dead” back in September but are now back in contention after the government reopened discussions with the Greens yesterday as part of the plans to push through as much legislation as possible today using the guillotine motion. Brace for endless twists and turns with plenty of blatant tactics playing out in Parliament House over the next 24 hours. ON A LIGHTER NOTE... A cat that got lost in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park has made it back to its home in California after an epic 900-mile journey. The Associated Press reports Benny and Susanne Anguiano took their two pet cats to Yellowstone’s Fishing Bridge RV Park on June 4. Not long after arriving one of the felines, Rayne Beau, got startled and ran into the trees. After a fruitless four-day search Benny and Susanne had to return home to Salinas, California, without him. A whole two months later in August, the couple were informed by a microchip that Rayne Beau was at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Roseville, California, almost 900 miles from Yellowstone, the newswire said. A woman had spotted the cat wandering the streets of the northern California city and taken him to the local SPCA after feeding and watering him. The Anguianos then went and picked him up. The couple say they have no idea how Rayne Beau travelled the 900 miles and are hoping people will come forward and provide details if they saw him on his odyssey. Say What? LinkedIn simply does not have content interesting and appealing to minors. LinkedIn The career networking site told the Senate inquiry it is too boring to be included in the government’s plans to ban under-16s from certain social media. CRIKEY RECAP Marles the mediocre floats free of media scrutiny BERNARD KEANE Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles (Image: AAP/Mick Tsikas) Two scandals continue to bubble away that reflect poorly on Richard Marles , the deputy prime minister and, as head of the Defence portfolio, both the biggest spending minister and most important manufacturing figure in the government. Neither, however, looks set to damage him. Marles has led a charmed life over the past two parliamentary terms. He is only Labor’s deputy leader because, due to Anthony Albanese’s ascendancy, the deputy leader couldn’t be from the Left faction or from NSW. He has sailed through numerous problems in his portfolio that would have bogged down other ministers. Renewables are exceeding expectations — but so are emissions. Why? KETAN JOSHI It is bad enough that 2024 was a record high for global greenhouse gas emissions. It is extra bad because the number we’ve ended up at is higher than all of the old projections of what this year would end up at. That is to say: we are overestimating our ability to stop using fossil fuels. There have been incredible advances in renewables and climate policies, but also, “fossil fuel subsidies remain at an all-time high and funding for fossil fuel-prolonging projects quadrupled between 2021 and 2022”. Why? What is justifying this weird refusal to back away from the fossil fuel economy? It’s many things, but a big one is the false promise of a machine that cleans up fossil fuels, rather than us needing to find a replacement for them. Back in 2022, I contributed an essay to Greta Thunberg’s Climate Book . It was about the weaponised false promise of carbon capture and storage (CCS). I wanted to talk about it not as a technological phenomenon but a rhetorical one. A tactically deployed promise that is never meant to come true . Failure as a feature, not a bug. The secret to a million-dollar newsletter in a feeble news market? Admitting when you mess up CHARLIE LEWIS The subject line of the November 25 edition of US politics newsletter Tangle , which came out a few hours before I spoke to founder Isaac Saul , was “A trans bathroom controversy in Congress”. But that was not the subject of the lead item. The first thing a subscriber would read that day were two corrections to the publication’s recent coverage, featuring not just the facts that had been printed erroneously, but a candid explanation as to how those errors came about. The correction ends by noting that these represent the “120th and 121st corrections in Tangle’s 277-week history”. This is as good an introduction to Tangle — which calls itself “an independent, nonpartisan, subscriber-supported politics newsletter” — as one is likely to get. “It all comes to the question, ‘how do we improve trust in media?’” Saul told Crikey . “We show our work. If we screw something up, putting it as a footnote and ghost-editing the piece is not a way to build trust.” READ ALL ABOUT IT As Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire takes hold, Biden heralds new push for truce with Hamas in Gaza (CBS News) Two presidents, two policies, one superpower: America in transition ( The New York Times ) ($) China’s CO2 emissions have peaked or will in 2025, say 44% of experts in survey ( The Guardian ) Laos detains foreign hostel staff over backpacker methanol poisonings as families and travellers demand answers (CNN) The rest is not even close: Inside Gary Lineker’s goalhanger revolution ( Esquire ) Drake takes legal action over song’s ‘sex offender’ claim (BBC) THE COMMENTARIAT Why I’ve changed my mind about the social media bill — Andrew Wilkie ( Guardian Australia ): There is also the fact that, despite all the histrionics about protecting children from harm, the government has dropped plans to ban gambling advertising, shelved their Environmental Protection Agency, kicked environmental law reform into the long grass and continues to cheer on fossil fuels. Surely our kids deserve protection from predatory gambling companies and the climate emergency too. If we truly want to get serious about protecting our kids online we could better regulate social media companies and their algorithms. We could put the onus on them to implement safety by design. And we could steer kids towards more respectful behaviour. This proposed ban is a blunt instrument being rushed through before an election. It ignores the nuances and restricts young people rather than focusing on those responsible for the harm. There are any number of things the government could be doing if they were serious about preventing harm, but I reckon in this case they are just playing pre-election games and the opposition is more than happy to go along for the ride. Karen Webb’s response to Clare Nowland verdict shows some lessons have been learned — Lia Harris (ABC): “Hindsight is a wonderful thing.” That was the response from NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb when asked if she wished she had handled things differently after 95-year-old Clare Nowland was tasered by a police officer last year. And based on the speed with which she fronted the media on Wednesday afternoon, less than four hours after senior constable Kristian White was convicted of Mrs Nowland’s manslaughter, it certainly seems some lessons have been learned. It was a pivotal moment in a case that has plagued the last 18 months of commissioner Webb’s leadership.
